Description from the publisher:
A Vampire’s Quest. A Healer’s Destiny. Her beauty rivals the glow of the sun. To a vampire, elusive, desirable, forbidden.

A vampire’s quest leads him to his greatest challenge, a defiant traveling Appalachian nurse targeted for her supernatural healing abilities. In the middle of his final mission, Ryderholt Judson’s desire for the sexy healer burns deep and fierce. Yet, as his duty to the Dark Knights comes to an end, the last person he wants anything to do with, despite centuries of celibacy, is a potential fated mate.

Hidden away in the Appalachian Mountains, Jess Willowbrook shares her supernatural abilities. No time for romance, she struggles to stay under the radar as the news of her success in healing supposed untreatable illnesses spreads. Danger on her heels, she encounters an injured man whose true nature defies reality.

Passion entwined with peril, Jess must join forces with Ryder to battle the unexpected evil that plagues the mountain community in Vampire’s Quest, Knight Fever Series #1.

Steamy. Light swearing. High heat. Unique, refreshing, edgy vampire romance, shifter romance, and fated mate romance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VAMPIRE’S QUEST is the first book in the Knight Fever series.  They are meant to stand on their own, but I say they need to be read in the order of release and there is too much overlap to pretend they are self-standing.  That said, this is the first book and it definitely stands on its own with no cliff hanger.  Still, once I read it, I knew I was going to want more.

There are thirteen knights – from King Arthur’s court – tricked by Merlin to become superhuman and then rejected because of what he had done to them.  I’ve always loved stories of Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.  This story makes me question what I know.  This author has asked “what if” and built a new world.  I smile as I say that is what a true author does!

There are five women in East Tennessee.  Each has been labeled a witch.  Why?  How in this modern world?  The answers are fanciful and imaginative. 

Then Ryder met Olivia and the roller coaster ride took off at breakneck speeds.  It never slowed down…making this an absolute page-turner of a story. 

I already have the second book and will be starting it immediately.  Will another of the coven meet her fated mate within the ranks of the Dark Knights?  I hope so!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
